No,
I’m not even from this world,
I came through a portal
a sea god made
so clearly the moon didn’t kill all the other gods
but I have no quarrel with you
except you did kill my friend
who knew nothing about moon deities
besides what the moonspeaker told xhem
but if you’re saying the truth about the green dust,
I’m sorry, I guess,
for the past,
though I don’t think these dracans knew anything about their history
unless this moonspeaker did
but also
I really doubt the moonspeaker could fend you off
by moaself
and the town definitely only had one moonspeaker
so I think you’re lying to me
about going to the lake first.
Dracans are incredibly bad at violence
but hey
don’t shoot the messenger,
the lake is open
unless the moon stops you
just please don’t
hunt down anyone else,
for murdering my friend
I thought I’d attack you
but now I don’t know
if that made me feel better
but sorry,
I’m rambling,
I don’t know how to process this
and I don’t mean to come off bossy
but I’d really appreciate
if you put me down.
And if I could have some water,
I’d appreciate that too
and maybe I could ask the sea deity
I spoke to
about your moon
since it said it knew every moon
and chose to send me here
also sorry for throwing that flare in your face
I was trying to keep some people safe
but if you’re just after the water
they might be okay now
but please don’t hurt me
just because I’m not a
joblin
or borre,
like you thought I was.
